Your Chance to Bet on the Future Of Poker

Last week, we sent you an invitation to join us in Washington, DC, October 22-24 because you live in a critical congressional district. We're off to a great start with nearly 100 people saying they're willing to raise the stakes to get legislation passed that will determine once and for all our ability to play poker -- online, in our homes and at tournaments.

You can join some of the world's top poker professionals and your fellow PPA members by registering now. If you've already registered, thanks! We can't wait to see you in DC and we will continue to send you updates.

If you haven't signed up, your participation is vitally important. As you know, legislation passed during the last Congress threatens our pastime, our passion and for many of us, our livelihood. Momentum is building, and we need you to join a select group of players to tell Members of Congress that poker is not a crime!

We have negotiated a special room rate, available until October 5, but keep in mind that the rooms are filling up quickly. Once we know that you're all-in, we will schedule a meeting with your Member of Congress -- working with you to make sure they get the message that poker is a game of skill and that reasonable regulation is the best policy approach to Internet gaming. You'll also have a chance to mingle with many of the best poker players and pros from across the United States.

I look forward to seeing you at this important event.

Proud to Play Poker,

Senator Alfonse D'Amato ChairmanPoker Players Alliance
